What the Infrastructure Deal Means for Climate - LivestreamThe biggest piece of climate legislation in U.S. history has just been signed into law. To be sure, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework) got pared down significantly from what was first put on the table, but the bill President Biden signed still ...

Imaging quantum materials with scanning SQUID microscopy - LivestreamNovel quantum phenomena are often driven by cooperation or competition between different electronic properties with similar energies. Probing coexisting or competing electronic orders requires versatile probes which are sensitive to the multiple aspects of the system, such as magnetism, conductivity and superconductivity. In my talk I will describe two systems ...

Missions to Near Earth Asteroids - LivestreamThis talk will describe the two recent missions which have taken samples at Near-Earth Asteroids, Hayabusa-2 at Ryugu and OSIRIS-REx at Bennu. Hear about the scientific results from the orbital phases of the missions, the dropping of surface landers, and how the material is returned to Earth. The talk will ...

Electrically charged skyrmions and superconductivity - LivestreamSkyrmions, first proposed in the context of nuclear physics, elegantly realize Kelvin’s dream of understanding particles as topological defects in an underlying field. When skyrmions arise in 2D materials with band topology, Berry-phase effects can endow them with an electric charge in addition to their magnetic moment, with intriguing implications for ...
